Nominator's project description

Professor Thiagarajan is an authority on the modeling and verification of concurrent, distributed, and cyber-physical systems. His research on Petri nets helped set the foundations of concurrency theory. His research on probabilistic hybrid dynamical systems and approximation techniques led to new techniques and scalable tools for the analysis of computer systems interacting with the physical world. His research has found applications in the modeling and analysis of biological pathways. In Germany, he will continue his work on abstraction and control of stochastic hybrid systems.
